Chapter 337 Visiting the New Home
Xie Yi and Lin Xiaotong were waiting for Xiong Chuan to come at the bureau gate. In front of them were vehicles coming and going and pedestrians in a hurry.
Xie Yi rubbed his stomach, he was full from drinking the tea just now.
Lin Xiaotong shook her wrist. She had just been arguing with the older sister who had lost her wallet for a long time.
When she arrived at the police station, the elder sister said that the wallet contained money she had brought from her hometown for her niece's medical treatment. She didn't expect that she was targeted by a thief when she was leaving the station alone.
After taking two steps, I felt a cut in my bag, and my heart sank.
He tried hard to chase the thief, but was forced back by the knife.
Fortunately, two people came to help, and finally with the help of passers-by, the two thieves were caught.
The elder sister was very grateful. She held her hand tightly and even took out a big unity banknote from her wallet and put it in her hand.
Xie Yi didn't stop her. She argued with her elder sister for more than ten minutes, and then sent the man away without taking any money.
"Xie Dayi, Xiaotong, I'm here. Why are you two here?"
Xiongchuan got out of the taxi and strode towards the two of them.
Seeing that the two were safe and sound, he finally let go of his worries, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and bared his big white teeth.
Xie Yi clenched his fist and stepped forward to touch his shoulder: "Chuanzi, wow, you've become a lot darker."
Lin Xiaotong held back her laughter. Indeed, Xiong Chuan had been working in Pengcheng for a few years and looked a little darker than when he was on the island.
The man was wearing a colorful short-sleeved shirt and shorts and was walking briskly.
The only thing missing from her neck is a gold chain as thick as a thumb.
"Fuck you, is there anyone who praises others like you?
Let’s go, get in the car and go home. Just put your luggage in the back.”
Xiong Chuan punched back, enthusiastically took the luggage from Lin Xiaotong's hand, and pulled her into the car.
Xiongchuan sat in the passenger seat and the other two sat in the back.
The appearance of this taxi is not much different from those in later generations, except that it does not have air conditioning.

All the car windows were rolled down, the speed was increased, and the wind rushed in, making it a lot cooler.
“It’s so comfortable.”
Xie Yi breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from his forehead with the tissue in his pocket.
This place is not far from Xiong Chuan's home. The taxi is fast and we soon arrived at Donghu Liyuan, No. 3001 Aiguo Road, Luohu District.
"Home."
After Xiongchuan paid the money, the three of them carried their luggage up the stairs.
The new house is backed by Cuizhu Mountain, and there is a short flight of steps leading up.
When they arrived at the gate, Xiongchuan smiled at the security guard. After registering, the three of them continued to walk inside.
Xie Yi fanned himself with a fan: "It's still cool here."
Maybe because there are mountains behind, the temperature is lower than that in the downtown area, and you can hear birds singing when you walk in.
"Luckily, I bought it early. People from the second and third phases of Hong Kong City swarmed over and I almost didn't get a number."
Xiong Chuan still felt a lingering fear when he thought of the grand opening, and his tall and strong body shuddered.
"Is this house a collaboration between the government and foreign capital?"
Lin Xiaotong looked up at the six-story building. The houses were neatly arranged and every household had clothes hanging out to dry.
The distance between buildings is good, and greenery can be seen everywhere in the community.
I turned around and asked Xiongchuan, and she seemed to have seen this incident reported in the newspaper at that time, but she didn't say anything in detail.
"Yes, the government provided the land, and the Hong Kong side provided the capital and was responsible for sales. I don't know how the profits were divided."
Xiong Chuan scratched his head and to be honest, he went to the Gangcheng Miaoli Real Estate Purchase Center to queue up to buy the house.
She praised it, "It's quite bold. The person who proposed it is really courageous."
Xiong Chuan felt that he had hit the jackpot, as the price of the house was HK$2,730 per square meter.
It is equivalent to about RMB 1,000, which is much cheaper than the real estate market in Hong Kong.
He got on board early and bought a house in the first phase, which had only 108 units in total, and they were all sold out in less than three days.
There were so many people queuing up for the houses in the second phase that a lottery was required to finalize the sale.
People in Hong Kong are rich. Some neighbors buy several houses at a time.
Phases one and two both consist of two large buildings and six small buildings, each consisting of six stories.
Phase III consists of a 28-story building, two six-story commercial and residential buildings, and five garden villas.
The community is also equipped with supporting facilities such as kindergartens and playgrounds.
"It seems that there was insufficient funding for the collective dormitories for the cadres who came to support the construction, so they finally came up with this idea.
If it weren’t for this, I wouldn’t be able to buy a house.”
The housing purchase policy in Pengcheng is that you can enjoy a 95% discount if you pay in full at one time, and it also comes with three household registrations, allowing you to buy a house and get your household registration at the same time.
Xie Yi grinned: "That requires you to have money. Over a thousand yuan can buy a small bungalow in a large courtyard in Beijing."
“The houses here are all independently owned, so the price is worth it.”
Lin Xiaotong was also a little envious, as Xiong Chuan was about to live in the first batch of commercial housing.
Xie Yi looked around and said, "It looks much better than the tube building."
Xiongchuan felt a little complacent when he said this, and puffed out his chest.
"That's right. There's a property management company in the community. If something breaks at home, just call and someone will come to fix it."
The real estate property management model was introduced from Hong Kong City.
"My light bulb broke a few nights ago, so I went to the management office to call for help. The young man came to my house and fixed it in no time."
If the light bulb is broken, the toilet is blocked, there is an urgent matter and you need to buy something, you can go to the property management for any small matter, big or small.
"The key is that they are really enthusiastic. After running from one house to another, they go to the other house and are busy running up and down the stairs."
Xiong Chuan also knew that several aunts downstairs had a very high opinion of the young comrade in property management, and they were trying to introduce them to someone from Gangcheng these days.
“It’s money well spent!”
As soon as Xie Yi finished speaking, Xiong Chuan pointed to the apartment building and said, "We're here. It's on the third floor."
This six-story building faces north and south, has a good location, and the corridor entrance is clean.
The three of them went upstairs and into the house.
"The house is 75 square meters, with three bedrooms, a kitchen, a bathroom, a living room, and a small balcony."
The house was exceptionally bright, with white tiles on the floor and whitewashed walls, and sunlight shining on the ground.
Seeing this scene, Lin Xiaotong was a little dazed.
There was a bouquet of flowers on the long dining table and a few brightly colored dolls on the sofa.
People who live in a clean environment can easily discover every trace of life.
"Chuanzi, you're back. Can we serve the food?"
I heard the door open and a middle-aged woman wearing an apron, with short hair and a shy smile came out of the kitchen.
"That's all right, Auntie, you can do whatever you want."
"Why."
"This is the aunt I hired, Aunt Rong. Chi Yao and I are both busy with work, and Chuyi is only six months old and can't leave her alone."
His parents couldn't leave the house, so they just spent a little more money to hire a live-in nanny.
Xiongchuan explained, and the two put their things down and went to the bathroom to wash their hands.
After a few days of train travel, I was finally able to sit down and eat.
"Chuanzi, are you doing well?"
Xie Yi looked at the table full of delicious food, tasted the fish, and gave a thumbs up.
Xiong Chuan's face was a little embarrassed: "What's this for me? I just earn some money for milk powder. Let's not talk about it. We all eat vegetables."
